What Our Customers Say

We take pride in our work and love hearing from happy customers who trust us with their homes and businesses.
Highly recommended. John arrived on time and explained what he was going to do to sort out my blocked chimney, which was 4 stories high. He was fast, efficient, professional, and friendly. He tested everything, including the carbon monoxide alarm, before he left. Couldn’t ask for more. Very satisfied.
Sean Smyth
Many thanks for arranging recent work in our home installing a cassette stove in our fireplace.
I wish to place on record the excellence of the two men who carried out the work: James and Chris. Both were courteous, friendly, helpful, and very hardworking. They cleared up dust and dirt as the work progressed and left the room in pristine condition. They also sorted out an historic blockage in the chimney to fit the flue. Anyhow, they were excellent representatives of your business. I may be back to you for one of those outdoor fires in the coming months.
Eamonn Brennan

In a culture of ‘sure it’ll do’ and the many times we are disappointed with some tradespeople — plumbers, painters, electricians, etc. — it was an absolute delight to witness the sheer professionalism, care, cleanliness, and courtesy of the people at The Soot Doctor, especially John on this occasion. I will always be happy to recommend such great people. Evonne Warnock, Foxrock.
Michael Kelly
I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. They helped me find the perfect product, and the gas fireplace they installed was exactly what I was looking for to finish off my sitting room. Their customer service was outstanding, providing timely estimates and accurate delivery dates. Would absolutely recommend to all.
Simon Morgan
Highly recommend. No fuss, no mess. Professional & friendly. Local Bray business set up by a firefighter/paramedic who was fed up with house fires caused by chimneys. CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY ONCE A YEAR! The state of mine was shocking.
O.R. Melling
We had a KT chimney re-line carried out by The Soot Doctor. From the initial survey to the completion of the work, I knew we were in good hands. Excellent work completed by knowledgeable professionals. I couldn’t help but recommend their work. Thank you.

For us, being a family-run business means we’re part of something bigger. We’ve always believed in building connections, not just with our customers, but right here in the communities we call home. We’re so proud to help out with a few great local groups that make a real difference.

Firhouse United Football Club

When we got the chance to sponsor the Firhouse United Senior Men’s team in the UCFL 3B, we jumped at it. For us, it’s about more than just a name on a jersey. It’s about giving local players a chance to shine, bringing people together, and showing some community pride. The team’s first win was a thrilling 5-3 victory against Spartak Dynamo, and it was a perfect example of what teamwork and local spirit are all about!

This one is very close to our hearts. We are truly honoured to stand with Community Lifeline and their amazing work. This incredible team is training volunteers to provide the world’s first frontline response to suicide, offering immediate, in-person support right here in our town. Knowing that we get to play a small part in a movement that’s all about saving lives, ensuring no one is left behind, and showing the world what a caring community looks like, well, that means the world to us.
